The Noble Lord Evidently Afraid to Have
the Truth Spoken, But the Gag Would
Not WOrk-ShadOwed by Scotland Yard
Extraordinary Police Preparations in
Toronto.
CHICAGO, May IA special to the
Herald, from Ottawa, Ont, says: ''Despite
the secresy maintained by government
officials, some interesting circums tances
in connection with Mr. O'Brien's visit to
Canada have leaked out. Among these is
the fact that Lord LansdoWne, when
certain that Mr.. O'Briea was coming to
agitate against him in this country, ap-
pealed to the Privy Council to pro-
hibit his speaking and urged his
immediate arrest on crossing the
line on charge of breach of
the peace. His object in making this re-
quest was to cause Mr.. O'Brien to miss
his appointments and prevent him from
speaking before public audiences. The
Council refused, on the ground that
Canada, as a British b colony, was a free
country. Failing to obtain Mr.. O'Brien's
arrest, Lord Lansdowne arranged his
visit to Toronto, in which city all protec-
tion was promised him. Although not
publicly known, the fact remains that two
Scotland Yard detectives have shadowed
Mr.. O'Brien since his first intention
of visiting Canada was declared, crossing g
with him and following him in order to re-
speech he may make. Action will proba-
bly, be taken on his return according to
the report the officers make. The feeling
here in favor of Lord Lansdowne is
only nantes ted by the rabid Orangemen,
of whom Ontario has only too many. His
munIfcence and generosity, either as
Governor or landlord, remain to be dis
| covered.
TORONTO, May 14-Information that
William O'Brien purposed attending the
loyal public meeting to be held here to-
day, was given to the chief of police at
noon to-day, and special meeting of the
| board of police commissioners was at once
called. The members were in session
nearly an hour, and completed the police
arrangements for today. They also took
into consideration Tuesdays pro-
| posed O'Brien meeting. Squads
| of police, commanded by Chief
! Grasset, Deputy Chief Stuart and
| staff, and Inspector Archibald, will visit
| the park so as to be prepared in case of an
| emergency. The police authorities do no'
fear trou bic to-day, but they think it ad
visable to be prepared. On Tuesday
evening one hundred constables will be
detained at police headquarters and at the
other central stations, and every ar
rangement will be made for the swearin g
in of special police should occasion re
! quire.

Serious Charge Preferred i gainst the Cap
tain of the Lost Schooner Parker M.
Hooper-Chief Mate wOOIcott Claims
that the Vessel was Deliberately Cast
Away, the Second Mate Assisting.
BALTIMORE, Md, May IA letter has
been received by Mr.. John E. Doyle, No.
sec South Broadway, Baltimore, from
Oliver Woolcott, first mate of the schooner
Parker M. Hooper, relative to the loss Of
that vessel in March during her voyage
from Havana to Boston. The letter was
written on board the Italian bark, Nord
America, which took the crew off the
schooner Parker NJ Hooper, and was
mailed from Almeria, Spain.
The letter charges that the captain OF
the schooner wanted to lose her, that he
spoke to Woolcott about vessels being
lost so as to get the insurance money.
WoOlcott told the ca ptain he would not
scuttle vessel unless he was well paid,
and the money put in his hand before
hand. The captain Stunned Woolcott
after that, so states the letter, and trans
ferred his confidence to the second mate
and sustained the second mate i'll disobey-
ing the orders of the first mate
Woolcott stated that the vessel lost a
rudder one day; that the captain put one
in it's place that was no good, and that he
refused to permit W oolcott to make one.
The rudder finally went adrift and the
captain sail he was going to leave the
vessel. Woolcott wanted some of the
crew to remain on board with him, and
try to get the vessel in, but all declined.
The bark Nord America came along and
the captain of the Hooper told the bark's
captain that the Hooper was lost; that
she was full of water. Woolcott denies
this, saying the schooner was making
very little water. The crew then left for
the bark Woolcott's captain made him
and the crew leave the vessel first, the
captain and second mate remaining
aboard.
1.-THE captain and second mate stayed on
board" says the letter, ''till the boat went
back for some sails and rope for this yes
sci (meaning the Nord America), and the
crew told me the second mate cut holes in
the vessel so as to sink her."
The Parker n Hooper had on board a
cargo of sugar, which was insured.

The Aspirants for Justice woods


WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Critic says
to-day: 'sThe report of the precarious
condition of Justice Wood, of the Su-
preme Court, revive the gossip as to
whom the President would be likely
to appoint on the Supreme bench.
Attorney General Garland is naturally
the first person thought of, as it is known
that he has long been ambitious to occupy
a seat on the highest tribunal of the land,
and possesses high judicial qualifications
Speaker Carlisle is also mentioned in
this connection, as an able and
learned lawyer, who could, per-
haps, secure the appointment if
he desired it. j. Randolph Tucker is men
toned as a competent lawyer, loyal to the
Administration, and well deserving Of
honor. But he is barred if the rule of
precedent is followed which directs
the appointment of a justice from
within the circuit for which he is
selected Justice Wood represents the
Central and Southwestern circuit. Ex-
Senator Mcdonald does not come within
its boundaries, but Ohio is included in it,
and Ex-Governor Hoadley is presen ted as
the candidate whom many politicians re-
gard as probable appointee. Ex-Gov-
ernor Hoadley has friends who urge
that he escapes all the grounds Of objec.
ton; that his State is proper one from
which to make the selection; his war
record unimpeachable; his legal attain
ments unquestionable, and his position
financially and politically is Of the best.

Governor fbseifhh8aPht e5eahss. an additional Money
Bill to this years Budget was brought for
ward, for granting a small subsidy lat the rate
of $400 a Year) to the Frederiksted's High
School, conducted by Mr.. F. B.. G.. Moore B.A.
The Remarks appended to the Bill state, that
the wantof such aschool having been felt for a
long time in Frederiksted, one has now been
established which in the opinion of the In,
spector Of Schools is likely to attain the end
in view. The Remarks also state that in the
event of the grant from 1st September to the
end of the present financial Year, being made,
it is the intention of the Government to. ask
for a similar grant each year as long as she
schoolfulfls the conditions laid down in the
School Ordinance. The Bill, was discussed
within closed doors.

His Excellency7 the Governor replied in
effect, that the Commission for examining
the horses offered was composed of three
officers and two experts from outside; that
in SO small g community it was difficult to
find experts who were not themselves deal
ers in horses and therefore likely to offer
horses for sale, and therefore the Govern
ment had never taken any precautions in that
direction; that as q matter of fact any mem
Der of the Commission who had offered a
horse always withdrew when that horse was
being examined and discussed; and finally
that there was every reason to believe that
justice had been done at the recent purchase
of horses.
